Socket help needed for API

[Charles Warwick]

Hi Richard,

I have an LC external under development that supports websockets that could potentially help you.  Feel free to contact me off-list if you would like to try it out.

Charles

As this has come up recently in a number of areas I had a quick look at the spec (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>).
